I liked live albums.

I'd buy Jimi Hendrix live, Led Zeppelin live.

And then until when I saw Zeppelin, forget it.

It was... Yeah.

In 73, it was over.

It was like, whoa.

enlightened right so the musician in you circa 76 77 what would you define what it was you were hoping to do or was it still too soon to figure that out no because we had backyard parties you charge a buck and you know and you needed better gear so we started i started figuring out the the the little business aspect of it you know and you know in doing so anyway um

I was really into Bloyster Cult, believe it or not.

Like, hardcore.

I think some of my chords and stuff that I write with are Bloyster Cult-ish.

You brought a broader kind of glammy sense.

And you know, I had a direction, and when I started really Mickey Ratt, we actually became a band like, I'm going to do this for real.

That was 70...

late 78, 79, going through a couple of guys, whatever.

And then I became this singer, guitar, rhythm guitar player guy.

And I liked it.

I didn't want to noodle.

I didn't want to, you know, so that's where the Kiss thing came in.

I'll be that Paul Stanley guy, you know, and I'll play guitar and I'll be, you'll be the lead guitar player, like Buck Dharma, which my guitar player was, lead guitar player.

Yeah.
